Killer style and iconic Chrome buckle are recognizable anywhere.Read more about the maker of the Lieutenant Elements LTD bag Ben Ferencz here. There is a special version of the Chrome Lieutenant available in Limited Edition colors inspired by nature (Crimson and Glacier) that is currently available for $190.00 and includes a chrome buckle instead of the blacked out buckle of the standard Lieutenent. The MSRP of the Chrome Lieutenant is $170.00 and stock colors are black, grey and olive. The Chrome Lieutenant is guaranteed for life! To back up that hand made quality, Chrome offers the best warranty in the business. At 3.4 lbs, the bag is a bit hefty but that's the price you pay for the cool hardware.īest of all, the Chrome Lieutenant is part of the Heritage Line from Chrome, which are all made by hand in Chico, CA. ![]() The physical dimensions are 21.5" wide, 15" high, and 5" deep with a carrying capacity of 26 liters. The bag is pretty big, which is always hard to tell from product photos, so we've included some shots of the Lieutenant while being carried. The only other thing we would add would be a carry handle for those times when you remove the bag from your back and just need to move it from place to place without actually wearing it. There is a cross-chest load stabilizer for increased stability however we would have also preferred the option to run the strap around the waist (not just under the arm) for those mad dashes to catch the bike car on Caltrain. The shoulder strap is nice and large and contains EVA foam for padding. The construction of the bag is weatherproof 1000 denier Cordura outer shell and waterproof 1800 denier military grade truck tarpaulin liner with bar welded seams on the inside. Other cargo options could include your favorite beverage of choice and ice to keep it cool (this method also serves as a way to keep the rider cool on hot days.) The Lieutenant will fit up to a 17" Macbook Pro and we regularly carried our laptop in it (with a sleeve, not included). And on those odd days when we got stuck at the office late, there is a handy loop between those two pockets (just above the red Chrome logo) for our blinky.Īlthough we were initially concerned with how secure the velcro closure would be, we never once had it come loose on us. The two external pockets are easy to get to and provide easy and quick access to tools, wallets, phones and other small items. We tested the Chrome Lieutenant for months and it has proven to be very durable on our commute rides, whether that commute was by pedal power or by motor bike. ![]() The iconic Chrome buckle also serves as a bottle opener! It will keep your items dry if it is rainy and we love the fact that it doubles as a portable cooler for our Pliny. It has dual waterproof compartments that keep the wet and dry cargo separate. The fact that it is a rolltop means it can handle a variety of different sized cargo that is easy to get to. The Lieutenant rolltop messenger bag from Chrome is versatile, stylish and is waterproof inside and out. ![]()
